I wanna shorten my throttle cable so the throttle response is nicer.
I hate toeing my throttle pedal...
How do I do I shorten it? Is there a way I could lube it up/replace it so that the pedal feels better... is there any certain calibration imparted on the throttle cable?

I don't think there's any way to "shorten" it, as such; but you might want to look at the brackets at both ends of the cable and see if you can bend them to adjust the height of the pedal to where you want it. Just make sure that it still opens all the way when you stand on it (number one cause of mystery "low ETs") but doesn't bind against something either.
